NATURAL HISTORY STUDIES 



Levick's interpretation is probably correct, that 

 although what he saw was not directly connected 

 with migration, it may be a sort of reminiscence of a 

 bygone habit of massing together in large numbers 

 before the autumnal journey northwards. The 

 journey is, of course, still undertaken, but little 

 is known of it, for the winter quarters of the Adelie 

 penguins after they leave the Antarctic shores are 

 wrapped in blizzard and mist, though they probably 

 lie near the northernmost limit of the pack-ice in 

 the "far southern seas.
